What's the guitar are you playing in the video?😮

Oh good, I put the text in the video wrong. It's not a 4:3 polyrhythm, it's to prepare for a 3:4, because eventually it's going to be 3 chords evenly spaced across 4 beats.

u will be famous one day

❤❤❤

Where do I buy the lesson on this? And does it go over this lick in detail like that?

A: wildly, helpful information, and beautiful triads to try out. B: that guitar is ugly as sin, and I can’t stop staring at it, and genuinely made it hard for my autistic brain to focus

hey man cool exercise ! I am having trouble with pinky can't get a clean note while playing legato the note below the pinky keeps buzzing any solution for this or what should i work on

The first video - when the guy said to play the same thing at the *same* speed, *thousands* of times, I instantly knew you were gonna take issue with that. I think anybody seriously trying to learn with any sense for how to actually improve hearing that would be like "what the fuck are you smoking, dude?" The rest of what he said was good, but THOUSANDS???? At each speed? I could see thousands at *full* speed for something you would want to perform for people, but... whaaat? Personally, I will, at least some of the time, repeat at the same speed for a bit even if I played it right, but for a reason - there are plenty of times where I play something right, but I do not have it down well enough that I think I could repeat playing it correctly or confidently. If I increase the speed like that, then I wind up having a harder and harder time getting it right until I start completely losing the notes and the rhythm, and my accuracy goes right out the window. The increased difficulty can force me to push harder to get better, but my brain in particular tends to get *sloppier* as I go too far past the speed where I feel really confident I can get it right. So when it's something that the speed is tripping me up, and manage to struggle into playing it right after a while - I will sit at the same speed for a *bit* after I get it right to get my brain comfortable again. But that's usually just a few loops before I move up, just long enough to regain comfort and confidence... not THOUSANDS. Jesus that would be way too much, and that would take FOREVER, especially at low speeds. What you were saying about genetics and practice in how far someone can get - I partly agree with that. For the very very high end of players, for obvious reasons... But I think most people could get a pretty good portion of the way there with a lot of time and effort and a good method to learning, it's just that most people don't want to put in that time and effort or stick to a specific method that doesn't give them the instant gratification. (Small edit: That was basically agreeing with you overall, when I think about it. I think I lost my thought a little as I was typing. Emphasis on the good portion of the way there part. I think a lot of people are totally capable of getting *really* far with it, if they would do that, just probably not to the top few.) Also, interestingly - substances like psilocybin can actually help to develop new skills and mental capabilities better suited to it, if used in the right way. Research has shown that it will disrupt a lot of neural connections in the brain, and cause the brain to develop a burst of new neurons and connections - essentially making your brain start rewiring itself, somewhat. Obviously a bit risky, but it's fascinating to me it can do that. And the second video, agreed with you and them. All aspects have their purpose and place. I try to make a point of learning stuff in a lot of different styles - even stuff I don't like, as long as it has good qualities to it. Although, theory is the thing that I've neglected for waaay too long. Keep trying to convince myself to put in more time on that, and I never seem to manage to. Part of why I learned everything the wrong way for the longest damn time.

Quite interesting stuff

When you said you need a better working title - I'm just gonna throw this one out there: The Trooper Scooper. Or just The Scooper 😂 Also, you might not be going to aftershock, but I definitely am. And I paid way too much for my tickets. Buuut there are a bunch of bands this time I'm looking forward to that I've been wanting to see for a long time, like Jinjer.

exactly..this is absolutly 100% true about myself too...I also developed a natural 2 way pickslant over the years, and just got aware of it because the cracking the code series. Troy more or less helped me, to really take care of my motions, and improve them in some ways

As much as I appreciate the tutorial on theory, that’s not where people want to hear from you… They want to hear how to use your right hand to pick really fast and accurate. That’s what people want.

Bernth is one of those guys who makes his living by telling people what they do wrong… Kind of seems like a prick

What guitar is this

Thanks, I believe I’ve been paralyzed by the analyzer !! 😂

GIVE ME THE TABS good video

the squeal. ☠️

Almost makes me think of Mr Crowley descending solo lick

Any reason to start on the up beat?

Nice

Needs more wah lol

Here is the tab for this: www.milehighshred.com/freetabs/octave-lick-1-fairly-simple-shapepattern-played-in-three-octaves-ascending This was given to a student to help them see more of the fretboard by using some fairly simple shapes/patterns that ascends three octaves. You COULD say four octaves because of the fourth A note you finish on, but the pattern being used is only in three octaves. If something like this feels difficult at first, it's a good idea to break this down into smaller pieces. Instead of trying everything, try one bar at a time until your fingers feel comfortable with the pattern. Try each bar individually too. Then, once each bar is feel comfortable, try two bars at a time. After two bars at a time feel comfortable, go back to trying the whole thing!

The Gretta song was 100% better than Steve Stiles.

I feel better about my choice of instructor after viewing this.

Here is the tab for this: www.milehighshred.com/freetabs/mikehell-5-4-20-2-upward-escape-motiondownward-pick-slanting-string-changing-burstschunks This was given to a student to work on changing strings while picking fast. Because you are changing strings after performing an up stroke, using an upward escape motion (usually used with a downward pick slant) can be very beneficial in playing things like this nice and clean at fast speeds. However, eventually you may end up picking so fast that you can't avoid hitting the string you're trying to leave. As long as your muting technique is solid, you can hit that string while going to the new string and you won't even hear the unwanted string being struck!

This is a short demonstration of the Aeolian mode, aka: the natural minor scale. The interval structure is 1, 2, b3, 4, 5, b6, b7. What mode should I demonstrate next?

⚡💯

I'm finding it very difficult to get any faster above 165 bps on exercise 2. I'm a little better on single strings, getting up to about 190 with very subtle wrist motion only. But reverse gallops always seem a lot harder than regular gallops. Is this normal? I'm wondering if I just don't have the fast twitch required to ever get that fast.

Here is the tab: www.milehighshred.com/freetabs/mikehell-10-26-20-1-palm-muted-power-chord-picking-endurance This was given to a student to work on their picking/strumming endurance while palm-muting power chords (aka: 5th chords). The chord progression is climbing up a Half-Whole Diminished Scale. The count for this is 1ena2en-3ena4en-

Great lesson. Thanks

Thank you John Lennon

Practice makes perfect is not true. If you practice with tons of mistakes, then you just got more consistent at playing like garbage. Practice makes permanent, therefore, only perfect practice makes perfect! Yes, mistakes happen. They are inevitable! But, if you address the mistakes as they happen and focus on erasing them, you will make those mistakes less and less. If you ignore mistakes and just keep "playing", you will prevent yourself from making the best progress possible. This is a clip taken from a live reaction to a video with a ridiculous title of "Increase Your Speed by 3000 Percent". Nobody is doing that. That's stupid. But, the advice in the video was actually quite good! Here's the full response video: kzbin.info/www/bejne/enO8Ypx_rZiLndk

But also the student cant stay at 100 bpm 16 notes or 70 bpm triplets. The student needs to work an at uncomfortable tempo where accuracy Is not sacrificed

Martin Miller disagrees.

This is a small clip from a live reaction to a video explaining how to "Increase Your Speed by 3000 Percent". The 3000 percent thing is ridiculous, but the video being reacted to does have some great advice! One thing is the importance of slowly increasing your speed when you are learning something new to help ensure you remain accurate. I'm a big proponent of slowly increasing your speed with new things to not only make sure you play things correctly, but so you also have the best chance of maxing out new personal bests for playing fast!

1:23:20 - Get FASTER Fingers In 1 WEEK - #1 Finger Exercise for Guitar Original video: kzbin.info/www/bejne/qZeQg3xnjrWpp7ssi=yO7chIKIimeP2j5m The exercise shown in this video is, well, fair. It's okay. I would not call it the number one finger exercise. You don't even play anything! It's just a way to work on some finger independence. Overall, the video is okay, but the title is click-bait. 1:41:27 - The 5 MOST Important Music Theory TRICKS! (Finally Sound Like A PRO) Original video: kzbin.info/www/bejne/l6Spcn58a72Meassi=UE1lu0zAjnBCM-ep Yes indeed, ANOTHER Bernth video. Hey, if you have recommendations for other things for me to react to, please share! Alright, this video is I had some disagreements with, but I did like some of it. His first tip is about learning the notes on the fretboard. Now, I'm writing this summary a few days after having watched the video, so hopefully I remember things well enough to not misquote him. Basically, he feels like you need to learn where all the notes are on the fretboard to start learning theory. This is one thing I don't agree with. Yes, I do believe it's good to learn where the notes are, but I learned this by just playing things and paying attention to the names of chords. Eventually I just started memorizing where things were while playing stuff. Because of this, when a student asks me if they need to memorize all the notes as a separate thing, I tell them I don't feel it's necessary because through all the theory work we do, you WILL learn where all this stuff is. That being said, Bernth does offer some decent things to practice finding notes quickly, but he only shows something cover the E strings and D string. What about the A and B strings? Completely left out of his discussion. His next tip covers chord theory, and he advises studying all the different possible intervals straight away. Again, not something I recommend. To my ear, it just sounds like one big chromatic thing, and the different intervals don't really stand out. When I work with students on chord theory, we stick with new chords for a while in order to get used to what's happening, and how things sound. This allows people to get used to the new sounds and shapes before adding in new intervals, or manipulating old chords to make new ones. The next tip on composing in key, but he really just talks about forming triad chords. Not quite the same to me, but I'm just being picky. The next subject is on scale theory and I've nothing to add. He briefly talks about paying attention to notes and intervals in scales you learn, and then shows a few exotic scales/modes. The last topic is on ear training. Definitely good advice hear on how the better trained your ear is the easier time you'll have learning new things. Overall his video is definitely a video just to get one's attention, and then direct you over to Patreon for the bigger picture stuff, which is totally fine! After all, we need to get paid to do these things or else we couldn't produce content 🙂

You are being fooled because it says increase YOUR speed what it really means is increase a very slow speed by 3000% also it’s only 1600% going from 1 to 2 is 100% increase. 2 to 3 is 200% increase 3 to 4 is 400% increase 4 to 5 is 800% increase 60 bpm to 120 bpm is 1600% increase.

Funny enough, this overall concept is *basically* what I wound up doing for practice out of sheer frustration at my own inability to keep up with songs. I primarily use Rocksmith for practicing songs, and I just about lost my shit fucking up on a song that should have been really easy. Finally went into riff repeater, dropped the speed to the lowest setting (1 out of 100 - it's a really weird speed scale, though), and spent HOURS going up by 1 at a time after getting it perfect at each speed. Did that with each riff in the song. After playing through each of the riffs like 300 times that way, I finally got to where I could play the whole song *right* at full speed. And as a fun side effect, I had the song memorized so well that I could play it blindfolded. Since I did that a few years ago, that's basically what I do whenever I'm having any trouble with a song now. Although I only start at 1 and go up by 1 at a time if I know I need some SERIOUS practice at it. Like the day before yesterday, I had to do that with Avatar - Smells Like a Freakshow, cause the main riff in that song was absolute murder on my hand. Couldn't keep up with it at all. Spent maybe 6 hours inching the speed up, and got to where I can just about play it without even looking now. Still needs some work, another part of the song I need to spend a good bit of time on (should be much easier after putting in the heavy time on the main riff, though), and I need to practice the chorus part some cause I do not have it memorized yet, but now I can actually play through the song and get a higher than 90% accuracy rating. Significantly better than where I was just a few days ago with the song, when I would just trip all over myself trying to play along. Tried doing that with Through the Fire and Flames at one point, just to fuck around - was only able to get the speed to 90, and only on the first riff. It was way too much for me. I suppose I should go back and try again some time. Pretty sure I've gotten better since then - maybe I'll get past the first riff. 😆

I love this. omg I love this!!!!!!

Great content! In fact just from this video alone I realize I’m probably playing a lick I’m working on too fast and I’m going to decrease the subdivision again from triplets to eighth notes! The lick is from Stephen Taranto’s guitar messenger course progressive picking and he’s a monster player! I can’t believe this method of using the metronome isn’t more mainstream.

I swear i can see the up slant with you just cutting through the string like you mentioned in your fast picking video
